Yes, after three years PF amount will be lapsed in case you will not claim for that. And to claim for PF you have to get form filled and duly signed by your previous employer than submit to your assigned PF Office .

pl tell me if there is a new amendment as passed agst pf in 2009-10. If amendment has passed can any one tell me about that amendment. some one told me that as per new amendment if company having more than 10 permanent employees it must to reg under pf act. pl conform me about this.

Hi
I was employed at a recruitment/staffing firm called OS2i in Pune from Jan 2006 to Oct 2008. OS2i was headquartered in Brighton UK under the leadership of Mr. Regan George.
Most of us who were employed have not received their Provident Fund settlements.
When we checked with the PF office in Pune our accounts show ZERO credit. For the time that most of us have been employed at OS2i, we have our salary slips showing deductions towards Provident Fund however our account shows ZERO when we checked the balance at the PF office.
Please to whom so ever it may concern, if you have any suggestions, guidance , please do revert back on my email id virafb@gmail.com
Also most of our senior management including Mr. Regan George have no inclination nor the desire to help us out, probably the last resort for us would be a to take legal action against the people concerned.

hi,
its really surprising that you have left ur job since 6 years and still not claimed ur pf!!! anyways its HR lookout to inform u the same but if they have not informed u than u may simply approach them, ask them for ur PF form, fill it up and submit to ur HR. it may take max. of 60 working days for ur PF to get cleared.
